Finisher Rods

The finisher rods on my 328i are black and I hate them. I really want the silver color ones on the 335i.

Could I just go to the dealer and buy the finisher rods for the 335 from them?
They will fit on my 328 right?

Forgive my ignorance- what is a finishing rod? Kinda like the Johnson Rod in Seinfeld?

It's the rods on the OEM front bumper lower grills.....next to the fogs and in the middle section.

OP I prefer the look without them. Just my opinion.

My car is the dark blue color (monaco blue), so the all black lower grille doesnt look good to me. The silver rods on the 335 look so much better with my car color, in my opinion.

Yep, I know what you mean. I have space metallic grey and black looks perfect. But on monaco blue (which happens to be my old 325i's color, LOVED that color!), definitely silver. I actually think only the E90 body style has those rods. I don't see them on my E92.. I don't think at least. I had a 2006 325i E90 before though.
